The Monster Among Us
A FILM BY
ALLEN MONDELL & CYNTHIA SALZMAN MONDELL
The Monster Among Us is Media Projects' latest film about the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in Europe.
The film includes excerpts from almost 200 hours of footage shot in Germany, Hungary, France, England, Holland and Belgium.
Anti-Semitism has surfaced on universitycampuses, in the media, on the streets, on the Internet, at political demonstrations and in seemingly innocent social situations.
The Monster Among Usexamines
this wave of anti-Semitism against European Jews and
their institutions, mainly from the point of view of
those who have directly experienced the violence or live every day with the threat.
In recent conversations
with American Jews as well as non-Jews, it's surprising
by how many are uninformed about the problem. Some have
heard about the violence in France, but most are totally
unaware of what's happening in the rest of Europe.
The Monster Among Us screens in July 2008 at the United States Holocaust Museum - Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies in Washington, D.C.
The film is featured in the research workshop:
"Studying Anti-Semitism in the 21st Century: Manifestations, Implications, Consequences"
taught by Dr. Alvin Rosenfeld (Professor of English and Jewish Studies & Director of the Institute of Jewish Culture and the Arts at Indiana University in addition to serving as Chair, Academic Committee, United States Holocaust Memorial Council) and Barnard Harrison (E.E. Ericksen Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Utah-Salt Lake City & former Professor of Philosophy, University of Sussex in Brighton, England)
The workshop is made possible by the Judith E. and Burton P. Resnick fund for the Study of Anti-Semitism.
